The report says Sars wants Wiese and two other individuals to be held accountable for R217 million, which is part of a bigger R3.7 billion tax bill based on an oil and gas company Tullow Oil’s “restructuring.”

It is alleged that ENSAfrica used Tullow to shift assets worth R3.9 billion out of South Africa. Wiese was a former executive of ENSAfrica. Now Sars wants R3 billion in back taxes and penalties, an allegation he denies.
